Yeah, I am too waiting for the ballot. The 'F' release was the craziest one with 20+ candidates. I favor to vote on a subset of all the names we have came up with so far. Seven is not bad, but we need a rule to pick 7. If we adhere to the official naming convention, we probably have six with one or two from "Other Suggestions." Of course, I think we have to wait for the committee to come up with the candidates.
